Sorry about the blank message sent just now, it wasn't me, it was my 
Smartphone!  If I unknowingly bump a button on it while it is in my pocket, it 
cometimes sends a blank reply to the highlighted message if my IMAP AOL email is the 
screen displayed.  One more inadvertent mistake by Maarja, hahahaha.  

I plan to unsubscribe from this account as soon as I post this note, so that 
problem won't occur again.  Here's why I'm sending one more general note.  
Several of you asked me privately about the Archives List today (thanks for the 
nice notes, BTW), so I thought I'd post some info about it.  This is copied 
from the List footer.

"To subscribe or unsubscribe, send e-mail to

      In body of message:  SUB ARCHIVES firstname lastname
                    *or*:  UNSUB ARCHIVES

Or to do *anything* (and enjoy doing it!), use the web interface at

One note of caution.  One person I know refers to the Archives List as mostly 
leaning liberal.  I can't corroborate that person's take on the List but I 
can't discount it, either.  (I can neither confirm nor deny, LOL).  I've 
described myself, publicly, as an Independent so I am not likely to get into 
discussions about politics.   So I don't know how most of the people on the List stand 
ideologically, although sometimes something pops up in someone's posting that 
seems to point one way or another (as it does on this List, too, on rare 
occasions).  I don't have good antenna for that sort of stuff as I'm not an 
ideologue.  Sometimes I vote for a candidate from one party, sometimes from the 
other.

So, don't let this cautionary note stop you all from checking out the List.  
I would say that interest in public access to government records and 
historical accountability need not be linked to voting for one political party, 
although people sometimes seem to assume that that is the case.   And that lack of 
interest in such, or a belief that officials should keep their records private 
and mostly unreleased to the public isn't necessarily related to one political 
faction, either.  Sometimes stereotypes fit, sometimes not. In 1980, I was 
working very hard to screen Richard Nixon's tapes, especially the abuse of power 
segments, to release to the public in accordance with the PRMPA.  That had 
nothing to do with the fact that I voted for Ronald Reagan that year.  (I stopped 
revealing my voting record after 1989).

If you're interested, do check out the Archives List, at least by looking at 
its Archives!  And for my friends on this List (the ones on my trust list, 
LOL), please stay in touch with me at this account.  Pass along any interesting 
news on records -- although Peter K. does post RAIN to the Archives List, I 
welcome any additional nuggets or insights from you here.  And let me know how 
you're doing (well, I hope)!!

Take care and best wishes!

Maarja
